Our position on copyright
We do not own or produce the channels, programs or titles reachable through the service, and nothing on this site should be read as a claim to rights in them. Copyright complaints are taken seriously: we handle notices sent under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and comparable laws in other countries.
Sending a notice
There is no email address for notices. Send yours on WhatsApp to +212 663 813 479. The Nartiel8k contact form works too, since it hands your message to the same chat. Put “Copyright notice” as the first words, which lets the team pass it to whoever handles copyright. Paste the text directly, or upload it as a PDF or a picture of a signed letter.
What the notice must contain
The statute lists six elements. A notice needs all of them:
1. Your signature, handwritten on a scanned letter or typed as an electronic signature, given as the copyright owner or as a person authorized to act for the owner.
2. Which copyrighted work, in your view, has been infringed. If a single notice covers many works at one site, a representative list of them is acceptable.
3. Which material is infringing, with enough detail (channel name, category, date and time) for us to locate it.
4. Your contact details: postal address, phone number and an email address if you have one.
5. Your good faith belief, stated in the notice, that the use you object to lacks authorization from the copyright owner, from its agent or from the law.
6. A statement that the contents of the notice are accurate, plus your statement under penalty of perjury that you have authority to act for whoever holds the exclusive right in question.
Details that speed up a check
None of these are required, but they shorten the work: a screenshot showing where the material appears, a note of when you saw it, and whether it was on a live channel or in the on-demand library. The more precisely a notice points at something, the faster it can be confirmed.
After it arrives
Receipt is confirmed within 2 business days, and a complete notice is acted on within 5 business days, which can mean removing the material or disabling access to it. A notice that lacks one of the six elements is answered with a note listing what is missing.
Material taken down by mistake
If material of yours was taken down and you think the removal was an error or hit the wrong item, you may reply with a counter-notice through either route above. It should carry your name, address and telephone number; describe the material and where it was before removal; declare under penalty of perjury your good faith belief that it came down through error or misidentification; accept the jurisdiction of the court that covers your address; and bear your signature.
Accounts that redistribute streams
Rebroadcasting or passing on streams from the service breaks the Nartiel8k terms of service, and an account used that way is closed without a refund. Accounts named in repeated, valid notices are closed as well.
Notices sent in bad faith
Knowingly misrepresenting in a notice that material infringes, or in a counter-notice that it was removed by mistake, can make the sender liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). If you are unsure whether something infringes your rights, take legal advice before sending anything. What the service does and does not promise about its content is set out in the Nartiel8k disclaimer.
